This board tries really hard to dislike going to the movies.

His posts are always so full of hyperbole that you wonder what's reality and what's being a crabby old fart. I took the family to see Superman at that same Alamo. Sure, the food isn't as good as it once was so we try for non-meal times and just get a pretzel and some shakes. The 9 trailers thing is laughable. You get maybe 4-5 with the normal Alamo monthly spot. I don't mind that theater because it's got the large format screen and Dolby Atmos. If he chose the Big Show, yeah it's more money. They tell you that upfront. The trays are fine. The other ones like Lake Highlands have one table per two seats. Both have reclining seats. I'd opt for an Alamo 10 out 10 times unless it's a 70MM IMAX movie. I'm used to someone doing something that bothers me during a movie like servers walking in front of me but that blows talking assholes on their phones and the in general AMC experience out of the water. We also do the monthly pass for all 4 so if we got to more than 1 movie a month, it pays for itself. I'm going to Eddington today. I'm going to count how many previews there are.

Alamo is the best for those who want the whole food/waiter experience. Personally, I want to snag a large Coke Zero and bag of popcorn before I go in and then once the previews start, leave me the fuck alone.

I don’t go to eat meals during movies. I’d rather eat better food off-site before or after the show. I don’t need to be continuously brought beers during a movie and I sure as shit don’t need a bucket of them. The servers can be distracting anyways.
